rspec-rails-2.8.1 is released »

Created at: 05.01.2012 07:43, source: David Chelimsky, tagged: bdd rspec rails ruby

Bug fix release

The rails-3.2.0.rc2 release broke stub_model in rspec-rails-2.0.0 > 2.8.0. The rspec-rails-2.8.1 release fixes this issue, but it means that when you upgrade to rails-3.2.0.rc2 or greater, you’ll have to upgrade to rspec-rails-2.8.1 or greater.

Because rspec-rails-2.8.1 supports all versions of rails since 3.0, I recommend that you upgrade to rspec-rails-2.8.1 first, and then upgrade to rails-3.2.0.rc2 (or 3.2.0 once it’s out).

Hi everyone,

Rails 3.2.0.rc2 has been released!

What to update in your apps

• Update your Gemfile to depend on rails ~> 3.2.0.rc2
• Update your Gemfile to depend on sass-rails ~> 3.2.3
• Start moving any remaining Rails 2.3-style vendor/plugins/*. These are finally deprecated!

Extract your vendor/plugins to their own gems and bundle them in your Gemfile. If they're tiny, not worthy of the own gem, fold it into your app as lib/myplugin/* and config/initializers/myplugin.rb.

• Guides are available as a single .mobi for the Kindle and free Kindle readers apps. Michael Pearson & Xavier Noria

• Allow scaffold/model/migration generators to accept a "index" and "uniq" modifiers, as in: "tracking_id:integer:uniq" in order to generate (unique) indexes.

Hi Folks,

If you want to have OAuth in your Rails Application with twitter. OmniAuth is the best gem to use.

OmniAuth provides list of  Strategies to use many OAuth for your application. Here is the List of Strategies.

Showing here a Twitter Strategy for OmniAuth. Twitter uses the OAuth 1.0a flow, you can read about it here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/oauth

For using Twitter OAuth you have to register a Application on Twitter (https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new)

Once you done with the registration obtain the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret from the Twitter Application.

Be sure to put the callback URL in the application. Callback URL is the URL where user will land after successful authentication.

Showing an image here how to register an Application with Twitter.

Here showing some of the steps :

Generate a new Rails Application:

rails new TwitterAuth

Update your gemfile add omniauth-twitter gem into that

gem "omniauth-twitter"

Create a config/initializers/omniauth.rb file.
Paste your key instead of XXXX, and secret instead of YYYY

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :twitter, 'XXXX', 'YYYY'
end

All Done!

Just start the server

bundle exec rails server

And hit the URL

http://localhost:3000/auth/twitter

And you should be landing on the Twitter Authorize page!

After success your app will redirect to your given callback URL with information and token!

Respond to Custom Formats in Rails »

Created at: 24.10.2011 18:09, source: Ruby Rockers, tagged: Solutions Technology rails

We usually respond some of the known formats in Rails Application like HTML, XML, JavaScript, RSS and some custom.

Have you tried to use your own custom format for your Rails Application?

Yes you can use your custom format in Rails Application.

Here showing a simple Rails Application with responding custom formats.

Get a new app

rails new music_library 

Get a scaffold into App

rails generate scaffold mp3 title:string url:string description:text 

Ok so you are ready to serve some music on your app with some formats!

Now you have to register MIME types in the Rails Application.

For that open up Rails.root/config/initializers/mime_types.rb

Mime::Type.register 'audio/mpeg' , :mp3

Now you can serve .mp3 and content

For that your respond block should look like

def show
  @mp3 = Mp3.find(params[:id])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.mp3 { redirect_to @mp3.url }
  end
end

Now if you call this action with .mp3

http://localhost:3000/mp3s/1.mp3

You will redirect_to @mp3 url.
